Said by someone from another forum:

Quote:
I worked in customer service until recently, and what I never understood is whythe person on the phone, a client of ours, wants me to know that he's in the bathroom while talking to me about his phone service.

"Now, see, the thing I've been trying to do with that number is -- oh hang on this is a big one -- HHHHRRRNNNNKCCKKK *plorp plop plop* Aaaaaaaaahhhhh... man, I feel a lot better."

And I sit at my desk, stunned, wondering what made this man, this CEO of a company with more than a few employees, decide to share his fecal activities with a customer service rep.

It's about as creepy as the guy who seems to be getting a lot of enjoyment out of his bathroom trips. I've gone into the bathroom here at work, heard a lot of heavy breathing and grunts, and then the bomb dropping.
And just because it is funny:

Quote:
At work I'm subjected to an unending freakshow of odd bathroom behaviour. Forget the guys who take a leak or a dump and then leave without washing their hands, they're small time compared to the guy who enters the stall every morning with paper, coffee and bagel in hand. WTF? Who eats breakfast in the stall? I wonder if he craps his pants like some kind of Pavlovian dog every time he walks into a Panera Bread? Or the guy who talks to himself while in there, knowing damn well that you're in the stall right next to him. I know the crapper is an excellent place to organize your thoughts, but please keep them in your head Mr. Manson. Another of my favorites is the guy who goes to the breakroom, steals two or three sections of the communal newspaper, takes them in the stall with him and proceeds to spread them out ON THE FLOOR as he's reading them. Then he folds them all back up, tucks them under his arm and deposits them back on the breakroom table for everyone to read and handle while they eat lunch later. Fantastic.

I've heard the call loud and clear before while tied up on a conference call. If I ever end up in an urgent situation, I'll just put em on hold and go to the bathroom. I'm involved in at least 3 or four of these a day and I'm always wondering about some of the others. I can't think of anything more disrespectful than someone who shits and talks.

More likely, 21st century business etiquette.

They're synonomous at this point.
